Match poised for tight end

Late wickets by the Delhi under-19 team helped them peg Uttar Pradesh colts back but the visitors still look favourites to take the first innings lead. UP have Akshdeep Nath and Rakshan Faraz to thank for reaching close to Delhi's total of 473.

UP need 120 more but have five wickets in hand, including that of Nath, who batted belligerently on the penultimate day, scoring 176 not out. He hit shots all around the wicket, with a glide through point for four, a hook off an attempted bouncer and a cover drive standing out.
